Sphaerotheca rolandae (common names: Sri Lanka bullfrog, Roland's burrowing frog, southern burrowing frog, marble sand frog) is a species of frog in the Dicroglossidae family found in Sri Lanka. It is controversial whether the species also occurs in India and Nepal.[2] Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, intermittent freshwater marshes, arable land, and pastureland. It is threatened by habitat loss.[1]
